There is probably a useful life of ~10 years on most types of consumer internet-connected hardware. I doubt these are 10 years old, but it would probably be in everybody’s interest to just say “we’ll support this connecting to the internet

Yes, I am going to install a Rinnai RSC199eN. Haven’t quite got there yet as I am doing a repipe myself and will relocate washer/dryer too a bit later (basically will reclaim the former mechanical room, which is almost 8x8) For me, I r

Asking because I’m genuinely curious (because I’ve seen list prices and I’m trying to decide how much cheaper it is to move a gas line than to just swap out a heat pump for current furnace/AC - Is your estimate of $13k in the bay area?

Dark Energy primarily, dark matter to a lesser degree. The other reason is because NSF doesn’t really “run“ things.

webdav, oauth2_proxy, nginx. That’s all you need. You can create your own issuer or also use dex I think. Fancy authnz is easy to do with openresty instead of vanilla nginx. Alternatively just use own cloud/nextcloud

I think that depends on how it’s done. If there’s actual visual representation ( bitmaps or FFT coefficients) copied around (and most importantly - more than what might be described as fair use), that would probably be true. If a highly ac

I think that really depends. You can describe the photo conceptually and build a new photo from that, which would be equivalent to clean room engineering.

IANAL but you can’t copyright a concept.

I don’t think the “bad for younger/junior people” thing is speculation. My team had an intern who was toiling away at something for two+ weeks that I resolved for him in 10 minutes the one day I went to the office for that month. It wa

A nice guitar costs just as much, despite being functionally equivalent to one 1/3 its price. There’s not a ton of rationality in music gear, people like what they like.

I’ve definitely been part of a musical counterculture my entire adult life (maybe you might omit the last 3 years though). I’ve easily seen more than 1000 performances in that time, from cave shows to pickle factories to stadiums. You’d pro

Department of Energy has frowned upon using GPL/copyleft licenses historically, presumably around the desire to enable commercialization of a product by any contractor (including DoD). Note that this doesn’t mean you are prohibited fro

Post-back of jira ticket mentions (or $tracker of choice) are highly useful. Making a channel with issue name is another (crappy) way to do it. I would love unification in the tracker to every mention of a ticket, from Slack comment to Bran

I’m well aware. It’s also a one line change to the myst parser to make that work. In any case, it’s because a myst code block with curly brackets is really a sphinx directive. That said, they should support the non-directive version, simila

Hopefully there’s some overlap with MyST - the markdown format from sphinx. That format is mostly reasonable in terms of extending markdown by enabling sphinx/reST directives.

I used hypersql/hsqldb for unit tests. The Oracle mode was usually close enough. It’s pretty close for postgres. Sometimes there’s small issues (I think using “INSERT INTO … RETURNING” required column name in caps for some reason) but

Even with a drought you could have sustainable urban and agricultural practices - the reality is there hasn't been and Utah is highly allergic to many sustainable environmental efforts.

Mathematica (and matlab for that matter) is effectively free at most national labs, and it’s still a tiny market share. That’s because scientific computing is rarely just scientists, but often includes engineers, SWEs, system admins, theori

I like most self service things but ordering at e.g. McDonalds is much quicker in person usually. I think even the pared-down menu that is in-vogue is pretty complicated for ordering for more than one person. I also started phoning in order
